Lucas Cranach the Elder, Martin Luther, and the Art of the Reformation
Lucas Cranach the Elder, Martin Luther & the Art of the Reformation examines the collaboration between the revolutionary leader of the Reformation and one of the great artists of early modern Germany, his friend and supporter, Lucas Cranach the elder. On the 500th anniversary of Luther's 95 Theses, this book examines the nature of art and image-making in the context of Reformation iconoclasm and the tradition of Catholic Renaissance art in the North. It focuses on Luther's Doctrine of Justification, which states the path of salvation lies in faith alone, and how it shaped the religious art that helped spread his new vision of Christianity.

The Literary History of Alberta Volume Two
In this, the companion to the landmark volume The Literary History of Alberta, Volume One: From Writing-on-Stone to World War Two, George Melnyk examines Alberta literature in the second half of the twentieth century. At last, Melnyk argues, Alberta writers have found their voice—and their accomplishments have been remarkable. The contradictory landscape, the stereotypes of the Indian, the Mountie, and the Cowboy, and the language of the Other, speaking from the margins—these elements all left their impressions on the consciousness of early Alberta. But writers in the last few decades have turned this inheritance to their advantage, to create compelling stories about this place and its people. Today, Melnyk discovers, Alberta writers can appreciate not only this achievement, but also its essential source: the symbolic communication of Writing-on-Stone. The Literary History of Alberta, Volume Two extends the study of Alberta's cultural history to the present day. It is a vital text for anyone interested in Alberta's vibrant literary culture.
